Notes
'Everest' rose (Rosa 'Everest') is a compact, climbing shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant white blooms have lemon-yellow centers and open from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers. Walter Easlea, Jr bred it in 1928.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, False indigo, and Stargazer lily.
